The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer is best known for his 1818 work ‘The World as Will and Idea’, which characterises the phenomenal world as the product of a blind and insatiable metaphysical will. Proceeding from the transcendental idealism of Kant, Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that is viewed by many as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism. His works on aesthetics, morality and psychology would exert a major influence on existential philosophy and Freudian thinking. This comprehensive eBook presents Schopenhauer’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), nascido em Danzig, na atual Polónia, foi um dos maiores filósofos do século XIX. Filho de um comerciante e de uma escritora, era esperado que seguisse os passos do pai, mas o seu interesse nunca foram os negócios. Em vez disso, durante as inúmeras viagens que realizou, redigiu uma série de considerações melancólicas e derrotistas sobre a miséria da condição humana.
Acabando por se dedicar exclusivamente à reflexão filosófica, Schopenhauer trabalhou intensamente em Frankfurt, redigindo e publicando diversos livros que não alcançaram grande sucesso. O reconhecimento chegou postumamente, e os seus escritos sobre religião, psicologia, ética e política – que traduzem a sua visão pessimista da natureza humana – influenciaram a filosofia existencialista e o pensamento freudiano e afetaram diretamente as obras de vários filósofos. O ensaio Como ganhar uma discussão (mesmo sem ter razão) foi publicado pela primeira vez após a sua morte e veio a tornar-se uma das suas obras mais afamadas.
